Tons of new features such as on-stage videos, a super new tool for animators, and even 3D.
You can also check out tons of more sneak peeks of "Adobe Max Chicago" here.

I forgot to mention, you can add bones.
AND, you can make the bones usable in the swf.

This flash physics shit just got real.

To be honest, I despise CS3, I just hate it, absolutly 100% hate it. THAT however, is changing my opinion. Im skeptical of the "No more keyframes" attitude, but I assume there will be no problem with animating the way we do now.

Plus, that bit at the end, someone care to explain that to me? I was a bit like: O.o I understand that it is a skelaton-esque thing, would be very useful for character models etc, especially for moving within preportion, but was that 3D at the end? Or was that just a bad quality stream with Pre-rendered movieclips?

Pure 3D.

:I just got a bit dizzy.

Pure 3D.

I just got a bit dizzy.

So, will flash have a 3D "building" canvas, like in 3DMAX, Maya or others? Or will flash just have the capacity to import those sorts of files, pre-made, ready for manipulation?

Sorry if you dont know the answers :P

Looked like regular movieclips to me o_O..

Saw this video a while ago, looks pretty awesome :).

No I don't think you do 3D modeling like in Max, but you can certainly add freakishly cool effects to your MC's now.
And I know flash can import 3D from Rhino already so we'll see what they do next.

This is so old...
The BETA is pretty new though.

And the only useful addition is the Vector class imo.

Well I searched and found no topics, and it seems most people didn't know.

[agree]
It's only just hit Beta. Expect it to be finalised Q2 2009.

my guess...
I think the GPU acceleration is going to be a big improvement too.

Flash already has some GPU usage for when it enters full screen and when it's processing some of the more complicated filters. Otherwise Youtube would slow to a crawl. Incidentally, I think this also means that FP8-9 already runs faster in the fullscreen browser than in the maximised player

I think we are about one or two Flash Player relesases from making Java useless. :D

One or two? Someone missed the announcment...

Wow, thats really amazing. I think that the skeletal thing would make life a lot easier. Plus the tweening and being able to play videos on screen will make a lot of stuff easier and better

which means, probably more quality flashes on newgrounds because they'll be easier to make
